5. PROGRAM EVALUATION (continued)

5.1.8 Vehicle Type and Model Year

Table 18 shows that just over half (53.5%) of the stopped vehicles in the two cities combined were cars. This was true for both Peoria (53.4%) and Phoenix (53.5%). The next largest categories consisted of SUVs (17.9%), pickup trucks (17.4%), and minivans (8.5%). The data for Peoria and Phoenix were similar except that the second most-used vehicle in Peoria was the pickup truck (24.4% versus14.9% in Phoenix ). The third most-used vehicle in Peoria was the SUV (11.3% versus 20.3% for Phoenix ).

The vehicle model years ranged from 1966 to 2003. A grouping by vehicle model year is presented in Table 19. That table shows that the model year of 92.8 percent of the vehicles was 1990 or newer, and the model year of 41.2 percent of the vehicles was 2000 or newer. The data were similar for both cities.
